1. PART ONE: Vitamins, Supplements & Energy DrinksPART TWO: Metabolic Syndrome Jacque De Fouw Health Educator

2. Vitamins, Supplements & Energy Drinks

3. Vitamins • Non-caloric essential nutrients, necessary for specific metabolic control and disease prevention • Certain health problems r/t inadequate or excessive vitamin intake • In many foods with energy and tissue building cho, fat and protein. • Supplements are individual & specific

4. Interesting discovery • Sailors sick and died unless ate fruit (scurvey)– lemons and limes – limeys (vit C) • Vital amines ---vitamins • Recent discovery – since 1900 – 1990s • Properties • Vital function with small amounts • Not manufactured in body – must eat • Categorized as Fat or Water soluble

5. Functions • Control or coenzymes – work together • Ie: B vitamins work together –metabolize glucose to produce energy • Tissue Structure • Tissue building • Deficiency disease prevention

6. WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS VITAMIN C B VITAMINS • Intercellular “cement”, collagen and capillary walls • Growth, vigor, coenzymes, red blood cell development

7. FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS Vitamin A • Vision skin • Toxic in large amounts Vitamin D • Absorption of calcium + phosphorus • Deficiency = rickets

8. FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS Vitamin E • Anti-oxidant (protectant) Vitamin K • Normal blood clotting

9. CONTROVERSY EXISTS • To supplement or not • Extremists • Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs)

10. RULES TO LIVE BY • Vitamins can be harmful in large amounts • Follow individual needs • All nutrients must work together for optimal health • FOOD is the best source of nutrients

11. Individual needs • Life cycle stage • Pregnancy and lactation • Infancy • Aging • Life style • Oral contraceptive use - B and C needs increased • Restrictive diets – fad & low calorie diets, vegan B12 • Exercise – B riboflavin • Smoking – C • Alcohol – Bs esp. folate • Caffeine – water soluble (Bs & C) • Disease states - individual

12. Megadoses • Used as a drug • Too much can be harmful or fatal • TOXIC EFFECTS • Fat Soluble stored in liver – A • Liver /brain damage • Water Soluble - Pyradoxine for menstrual problems • Not helpful/severe nerve damage • Vitamin C –to cure colds, cholesterol, or cancer risk • GI pain, kidney stones, resistance to bacteria

13. Supplements and Energy Drinks • Eat a balanced, moderate varied diet • Get enough sleep • Be sure not to overload on one thing • Protein hard on kidneys • Think about why you think you need a supplement or energy • If eating well, no need for extra • $$$$$

14. Metabolic Syndrome PART 2

15. DATA collected at 2007 Student Health Fair

16. COMPLICATIONS OF OBESITY METABOLIC SYNDROME • CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE • DIABETES

17. What is Coronary Artery Disease? • Affects about 14 million Americans • About 500,000 deaths/year • Accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque in coronary arteries = obstruction of blood flow to heart muscle

18. What happens? • Heart muscle has pain without oxygen • Destruction of muscle tissue • Death of cardiac muscle

19. Symptoms • Often no warning while slowly advancing obstruction • Chest Pain • Short of Breath • Swelling of legs

20. Risk Factors

21. Only YOU can take care of yourself! Make good choices! TEACH good choices!

22. What is Diabetes? • A chronic disease in which the body can not properly use or make insulin. • Insulin- a hormone made in the pancrease that turns sugar (glucose) into energy for the body to use

23. What happens without insulin? Lack of insulin  Build up of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia)  Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus

24. Symptoms • Frequent urination • Excessive thirst • Extreme hunger - Cells are starved for energy • Unexplained weight loss - Insulin can not trigger the storage of fat • Fatigue • Delayed wound healing

25. Type I Diabetes Mellitus • RISK factors: - Genetics - Autoimmune history • Type I is not preventable

26. Type II Diabetes Mellitus • Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus • Body makes insulin but most cells do not use insulin properly • Insulin resistance • Slowly, the pancreas stops making insulin.

27. Type II Diabetes Mellitus • 90-95 % of diabetics • RISK factors - Older age - Family history - Obesity - Physical Inactivity - Race and Ethnicity

28. Type II Risk Factors • Obesity & Inactivity - Studies find a relationship between weight/activity level and Type II - Seeing an increase in Type II diabetes in children

29. Type II Diabetes Mellitus • Race & Ethnicity - African Americans - Hispanic/Latino Americans - American Indians - Asian Americans - Pacific Islanders

30. Type II Prevention • If have risk factors, prevent or delay the onset of Type II… - Healthy diet - Moderately intense exercise (walking 2 1/2 hours each week)

31. Type II Treatment • Goal: Control blood sugar (glucose) - Glucose monitoring often - Oral medicine / Insulin injections - Diet - Exercise / Weight management - Follow up with doctor - Educate yourself!

32. Other complications of Metabolic Syndrome • Joint pain and disorders • Fatigue • Snoring + Sleep apnea • Respiratory disorders • Depression • Cancers • Complications of pregnancy • Incontinence
